Look for Pink Bras in Proctor May 8

‘Puttin’ on the Pink’ in Proctor for a good cause

The Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) in Tacoma reminds us that Washington State has the highest incidence of breast cancer in the country. No other agency in the state provides the unique and critical services that BCRC provides to Pierce, South King, Kitsap and Thurston. BCRC is a grass roots organization founded by breast cancer survivors and local healthcare professionals in 1998 to address the holistic needs of people affected by breast cancer or at-risk for breast cancer. Services are delivered in a warm, caring, supportive environment at no cost to clients.

This year, the business owners of the Proctor District, Tacoma, have offered their entire district for an evening of shopping for a cause. On May 8, a fun community fundraising benefit for BCRC, “Puttin’ on the Pink,” will launch. Participating businesses will open the doors and invite you to shop for the cause. Participating stores will be easy to identify with their PINK BRA displays. Pretty in pink will mean so much more to the people who need it most-those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and those seeking the caring support from BCRC of Tacoma.

A $15 donation gets you a Puttin’ on the Pink commemorative goody bag and pink flashing necklace that will entitle you to “Puttin’ on the Pink” specials in participating merchant’s stores. Come enjoy shopping, pampering, eating, drinking and much more, all to benefit the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Tacoma.

Register with participating merchants at the registration booth on the day of the event, located near Huff Jeweler, and The Harp and the Shamrock. To see the list of drawing prizes, participating sponsors, and places where you can purchase advance tickets visit www.bcrcwa.org.
